Mary Louise "Jill" Reichenbach
died on Saturday June 14, 2003 of leukemia at her home in Carlisle,
Massachusetts. She was 72.

Jill was born in Salem, Massachusetts,
grew up in Larchmont,
NY, and attended Northampton School for Girls. In 1951, she graduated
from Bryn Mawr College and later received her Master's in Education
from Harvard University. After teaching in the Lincoln Public School
system,
she married George S. Reichenbach and moved to Carlisle in 1959 where
she raised her three children.

Jill pursued her many passions with
boundless enthusiasm. Foremost among them was the Bryn Mawr Book
Store in Cambridge to which she
devoted heart and soul sharing her insatiable appetite for learning
by providing significantly to the College's New England Scholarship
fund. Over her more than 40 years volunteering there, Jill guided
its growth from a three-day-a-year endeavor to a full-time book
store. Jill's presence at the bookstore is legendary; as the longest
serving
volunteer, Jill was involved in every aspect of the bookstore from
scouting donations to hauling boxes to pricing and selling books.

When
not in Carlisle or the Greater Boston or New York metropolitan
areas, Jill traveled extensively, visiting remote parts of the
world regularly in addition to her routine travels to world capitals.
Jill
simply loved to travel and braved many parts of the world on
foot, skis or bike.

In her more than forty years living in
Carlisle, Jill was deeply engaged in preserving the town's natural
beauty,
working endlessly
to promote conservation and respect for the natural flora of
the region. Jill was well-known in her community as a result
of her
energetic involvement in the lifeblood of Carlisle: its schools
and library,
the Mosquito, sports and civic events, as well as numerous
political causes. In addition, Jill was a member of the Concord Garden
Club, the Trinity Episcopal Church where she served on the
Altar
Guild,
the Concord Country Club and the Cosmopolitan Club of New York.
She was also devoted to her summer community in Nonquitt, Massachusetts,
and her winter one in Jackson, New Hampshire.
Jill's first passion was her family. She leaves her husband
George, her son John Reichenbach of West Newton, her daughter
Heidi Harring
of Carlisle, and her son Fritz Reichenbach of Wilmette, Illinois,
and nine grandchildren.

A memorial service was held at the
Trinity Episcopal Church Wednesday, June 18. In lieu of flowers, contributions
in her
memory may
be made to either the Bryn Mawr Book Store in Cambridge,
or the Gleason
Public
Library in Carlisle.
